July 2, 2024 – Winnipeg Free Press – $25M, four-year program ‘crucial step’ in reaching greenhouse gas targets: climate minister. The NDP government’s rebate program for electric vehicles, disclosed in its April budget, came into effect July 1, with the hope it will give the sale of zero-emission vehicles a charge in Manitoba. A $4,000 purchase rebate can apply to any new electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid that costs $70,000 or less. There is a $2,500 rebate on pre-owned EVs. Manitoba EV purchasers can also access a $5,000 federal rebate on top of the new Manitoba one.
